Notes
Patricia June Vickers is an artist and counsellor. With roots in the United Kingdom on her mother’s side and Tsm’syen of the Northwest coast on her father’s side, Patricia studied under different artists that inspired her, learning watercolour, acrylic, oil, encaustic, and cold wax. She works toward interpretation of lived experience through texture, hue, composition expressing the spiritual and supernatural. Her goal with each painting is to create a piece that has healing medicine and portrays aspects of the actual, interwoven with grace and mystery.

Located at the heart of Vancouver’s Gallery area, Fazakas Gallery offers a vibrant program that features an array of art aimed to enhance, enrich, and broaden visibility and understanding of Indigenous art.

The Coast Salish Gallery at the Vancouver Convention Centre is a special celebration of the life of the Coast Salish people both past and present. In addition to Joe Wilson and Susan Point, the Coast Salish Gallery features work by Jody Broomfield, Luke Marston, Jane Marston, and Debra Sparrow

The Seventh marks the first solo exhibition by KWÍKWI: Lauren Brevner and James Nexw’Kalus-Xwalacktun Harry. The project explores a pivotal moment in the artists’ decade-long collaborative practice and builds upon their significant contributions to intersectional conversations around Indigenous representation and land-based gestures in contemporary art.
